Jack Levin, chief executive of yfrog, probably expected that heading up a tech company would mean long hours and maybe scooter rides at the office, but getting pulled into a Congressional scandal? That would seem unlikely.

Until now. Levin heads up the image- and video-sharing company, which is designed for Twitter users who can visit the site, log in using their Twitter usernames and password, upload photos or videos from their desktop, add a message, and click send.

The service was apparently used in an incident that has created a scandal around U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner, a Democrat from New York. The Congressman says that hackers broke into his Twitter account and sent a lewd photo to a college student who follows him on the microblogging site. Weiner said Wednesday that he cannot say “with certitude” that he was not the subject of the photo, which showed a man’s underwear-clad groin.

That response has, as most vague responses do, only whipped the media into more of a frenzy over the photo scandal.

Faster than you could say Weinergate, the press was calling Twitter, yfrog, and, by extension, Levin, to find out what they knew about the hacking incident and when they knew it. In an interview with the New York Times Wednesday, Levin said that his “company did not have reason to believe that its user passwords were exposed or stolen.”

He acknowledged that it was possible that the photo could have been sent from Weiner’s yfrog account through his Twitter password or through a yfrog password. He added that neither Weiner’s office nor any law-enforcement authorities had contacted him or his company to ask about the photo.

After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.
